Emergency was embroiled in controversies after several Sikh organisations across India, including in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, New Delhi, and other states, called for a ban on the film. They claimed that the film misrepresented their community and figures and distorted histor🐭ical facts.
They approached the CBFC and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, demanding a ba🔯n on the film's screening. The controversies delayed the release of the film, which was earlier scheduled to hit the theatres on September 6.
Emergency, written by Ranaut and co-produced by Zee Studios and the actor's Manikarnika films, is based on the 21🌳-month emergency period from 1975 to 1977, 🦂imposed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
